Worldwide Techniques and Outcomes in Robot-assisted Minimally Invasive Esophagectomy (RAMIE): Results From the Multicenter International Registry.

Annals of surgery
OBJECTIVE: This international multicenter study by the Upper GI International Robotic Association aimed to gain insight in current techniques and outcomes of RAMIE worldwide.

Advanced Imaging and Sampling in Barrett's Esophagus: Artificial Intelligence to the Rescue?

Gastrointestinal endoscopy clinics of North America
Because the current Barrett's esophagus (BE) surveillance protocol suffers from sampling error of random biopsies and a high miss-rate of early neoplastic lesions, many new endoscopic imaging and sampling techniques have been developed. None of these...

Predicting voxel-level dose distributions for esophageal radiotherapy using densely connected network with dilated convolutions.

Physics in medicine and biology
This work aims to develop a voxel-level dose prediction framework by integrating distance information between PTV and OARs, as well as image information, into a densely-connected network (DCNN). Firstly, a four-channel feature map, consisting of a PT...

Artificial Intelligence and Its Role in Identifying Esophageal Neoplasia.

Digestive diseases and sciences
Randomized trials have demonstrated that ablation of dysplastic Barrett's esophagus can reduce the risk of progression to cancer. Endoscopic resection for early stage esophageal adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma can significantly reduce post...

Differential diagnosis for esophageal protruded lesions using a deep convolution neural network in endoscopic images.

Gastrointestinal endoscopy
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Recent advances in deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have led to remarkable results in digestive endoscopy. In this study, we aimed to develop CNN-based models for the differential diagnosis of benign esophageal protruded...

Recurrent laryngeal nerve monitoring during totally robot-assisted Ivor Lewis esophagectomy.

Langenbeck's archives of surgery
PURPOSE: The robot-assisted approach for Ivor Lewis esophagectomy offers an enlarged, three-dimensional overview of the intraoperative situs. The vagal nerve (VN) can easily be detected, preserved, and intentionally resected below the separation poin...

Computed tomography-based deep-learning prediction of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy treatment response in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

Radiotherapy and oncology : journal of the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology
BACKGROUND: Deep learning is promising to predict treatment response. We aimed to evaluate and validate the predictive performance of the CT-based model using deep learning features for predicting pathologic complete response to neoadjuvant chemoradi...
